Kreacher's mother

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

The mother of Kreacher served as the house-elf of the Black family sometime before her son. When she became too old to carry a tea tray, she was beheaded, and her head was mounted on a plaque and hung on the wall above the front hall stairs at 12 Grimmauld Place just like all of the other house-elves that used to serve the Blacks. It was once Kreacher's sincere wish to suffer the same fate as his mother.

Many house-elves met their demise through the gruesome tradition which Elladora Black began. All of their heads were described as having a snout-like nose like Kreacher. This implies that Kreacher's family served the Blacks for several generations.

Notes and references

↑Kreacher's mother was killed and her head mounted on the wall in accordance with the family tradition. This would have had to have occured sometime prior to Walburga Black's death in 1985, after which the house was abandoned for ten years. She would have also have to have died after Elladora Black was born, in 1850.
